Attractional church

Why do we invest so much time and energy on attracting people to Sunday morning church?

Didn’t Jesus say “Go and make disciples….” rather than come to a religious service. I don’t really remember him advertising the local Sabbath service at the synagogue with cool newspaper ads and funny dramas.

When I think about the quantity of time and energy I’ve been investing in attracting people to our Sunday morning services it makes me sick. Shouldn’t I be spending my best energy on disciple-making rather than making a slick and entertaining Sunday experience?

Lately I feel like I’ve become an administrator of church experience instead of a pastor who calls people’s attention back to God.

Maybe I’m just feeling burned out.
